TL;DR

  • IT and OT systems must be treated as a single integrated unit because cyber threats do not respect organizational boundaries and OT systems cannot be accessed without underlying IT infrastructure.
  • Foundational services like identity management, network connectivity, and DNS must be prioritized first in any recovery scenario since applications remain inaccessible without these core capabilities.
  • Organizations must practice recovery procedures before a crisis occurs, drawing on lessons from nuclear generation environments where preparation and rehearsal are standard operational requirements for high-stakes scenarios.

Summary

Jay Cavalcanto, CIO of Constellation Energy, delivers a concise executive briefing on cyber crisis preparedness drawn from his experience in highly regulated critical infrastructure environments including nuclear generation. He outlines five essential actions for IT leadership: treating IT and operational technology as a unified system since cyber threats ignore organizational boundaries, prioritizing foundational infrastructure like identity management and network connectivity as prerequisites for application access, practicing recovery procedures before an actual crisis occurs, avoiding siloed thinking about cloud, SaaS, and on-premises systems, and deeply understanding data dependencies and recovery sequencing. Cavalcanto emphasizes that the increasing complexity introduced by AI and distributed architectures makes systematic preparation and data flow understanding non-negotiable for business continuity. His framework reflects lessons from environments where operational failure carries catastrophic consequences, positioning cyber resilience as a business survival imperative rather than a purely technical concern.
